The Cheapest Way To Improve Your Glock 43X Trigger 

I just put one on my 43X and the difference is night and day. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Absolutely amazing upgrade for just 15 minutes of my time and a few dollars

Keep in mind that a Double Diamond connector as well as a Ghost pro trades more leverage for more trigger pull distance, which kind of cancels what Lenny said at the beginning. To accomplish the stated objectives that Lenny first stated can be done with the following: 1) Polish the internal parts. 2) Replace the OEM shoe with one that can dial out pre-travel ( or perhaps both pre-travel and overtravel). 3) Install a device that limits overtravel such as a modified trigger housing with an overtravel reduction set screw (now available for the 43x/48) or Ghost PRO connector. 4) Choose the appropriate striker spring to finish the assembly construction with a 4.5 or 6 pound spring. 5) Install a reduced power safety plunger spring [which won't reduce the trigger pull weight but make the pull smoother]. For about $45 you can purchase a new shoe and housing that will do everything for you. The 43x's connector will stay crisp yet the pull will remain short and as heavy or light as you want it to be. Again, the Double Diamond and Ghost connectors might be ideal for some, but they will produce a "rolling" break rather than the OEM connector's "crisp" glass rod break. .

Quick way to remove your trigger pin on your G43X (works first time every time) remove your slide and then have a 5/32" or 3/32" pin punch at the ready, now first with your thumb raise the slide stop (against its spring tension) straight up and at the same time apply light pressure with your pin punch to the trigger pin and immediately allow the the slide stop to "SNAP" downward as you apply a very slight amount more pressure to your pin punch it's a 1,2,3, guarantee.

You’re a great teacher. This was fascinating, informative, and full of good tips.

I love the stock trigger pull weight. It’s a deliberate enough of a weight, that I don’t worry about accidentally pulling the trigger. However, I just want a more comfortable trigger shoe, and perhaps a better travel and reset.

GREAT Video and Explanation!! I was nervous about dissembling and installing the new Double Diamond 3.5 connector myself but with the help of your excellent explanation I did it with very little trouble. Somehow I did manage to unseat that small spring at the end of the slid stop but luckily I didn’t send it flying across the room when putting it back into place. Thanks again for your video!

A couple more videos with that level of detail and instructions and you would have a certifiable Glock armorer's course!!

Exploring budget-friendly ways to enhance the Glock 43X trigger is always appreciated. From my perspective, it's crucial to strike a balance between affordability and performance.

Just installed the connector based on your video. Thank you.

We call the set of typical mods, including this one, "Lennyizing" your Glock. HIGHLY recommended, no failures in parts or operation so far, and the 3+ lbs (not measured, but very noticeably lighter) pull really help with accuracy. Lenny, you ROCK!

used this on my glock 17 gen 3, never looking back. Zero malfunctions and the trigger feels awesome.

I leave my glock triggers factory stock , easy to get use to it . Thanks for the demonstration Lenny.

I just have to thank you for the ar 15 dry fire training dvd circa 2003. Im so happy you are living your life how you are. Moving out of California taking glock store to the next level. I moved to Texas and am also pursuing freedom and happiness for my little family. Me my wife and my 2 1/2 year old son. Carry my glock 17 gen 3 and it gets better year after year. Currently rocking a Valkyrie pl3 and a gideon omega 3 moa red dot. Aim surplus slide. Ndz guide rod and 15lb spring. Vickers carry trigger on oem bar. Oem internals upper and lower. Ghost bullet slide stop, and glock oem extended mag release. Lone wolf ext take down. Magpul carry magwel. Minor frame work and some Goon tape. Its been a slow evolution but im extremely happy with how it shoots and how I shoot with it. No pistol has given me the confidence of my glock 17 with a 17 round mag and a tyrant +5 extension. 22+1 of 124g jhp defending my sons future at all times❤ and it always goes bang. Always. Thats the best part. Ive had zero malfunctions in about 4 years of ownership. Very well cared for and daily carried. Well over 1000 rounds of practice plus 3 classes. ZERO malfunctions......I will be cremated and boxed up with my glock and placed on my kids mantle some day. I believe my spirit will stay attached to my weapon and allow me to protect my son and his future family even after death 😂

These really do work and very affordable as Lenny shows. Have several Black Yikes in my Glocks and they work awesome!. Next up is the wifes 43x. Thanks Lenny for great products and great tutorials.

I have the Glock 43x MOS and i love it... Wish I'd have gotten 48 MOS though as its the same price and longer barrell.

I have no issues with the stock triggers. No need to change triggers. Especially on a carry gun.

Use some emery cloth and polish all the trigger parts and put them back in your gun and you will have a 4 lb. Trigger pull.😊

Still carrying my Gen2 Glock19 with a three digit serial number, one of the first model 19’s to be imported from Austria and it’s still going strong ❤

Man, I can watch you all day showing us how to install parts into our Glocks! It's very soothing and relaxing. Keep up the great work!

You can give your Glock a very smooth trigger without replacing any parts. Al you have to do the polish the of the trigger bar and the connector where they rub against each other. You will retain your factory trigger pull but will eliminate that gritty feel to the take up of the trigger.

Interesting that I should happen upon this today. It just shows how closely google tracks you on the web. I have a brand new Glock 48 MOS. At my local gun store a few weeks ago I found a Double Diamond connector in the sale parts bin for a dollar. I didn’t even bother to check to see what it was for. I just bought it cause I have a bunch of Glocks. I decided to do a $0.25 trigger job to the new G48 and checked to see what the new connector was for and it turned out it was for a 43/43x and 48. I checked the trigger pull six times with a Wheeler spring loaded device before I started and it averaged 6 lbs. I polished up all of the important areas and installed the new connector. I then tested the trigger with 6 pulls and it averaged 5.5 lbs. the trigger did feel a tiny bit lighter and the break was a bit better. I have never had much luck with connectors, be it Ghost or even the stock connector in my G34 which is also lighter than in other Glocks. Calling it a 3.5 lbs. connector is misleading. You aren’t going to get 3.5 lbs without some other major changes like lighter striker springs.

Love your videos Lenny I keep on buying parts from you to modify my Glock 17 love the way it works keep up the great work

Came here to help plug your Double Diamond 3.5 pound connector :) It makes my G48 very nice to shoot, I recommend it to anyone.

I did this a while back with your 3lbs trigger. Works well.

Gotta wonder why Glock doesn’t do this at the factory.

Makes ya wonder how NYPD hits anything with a 12lb trigger💪

Factory stuff meets lawsuit liability standards. Sometimes factory stuff can definitely be improved.

Does this impede the safety of the stock trigger mechanism? Concern for appendix carry and accidental discharge with this being a much lighter trigger pull

Watched tons of your videos. You do a great job. I've switched my EDC to a S&W but have a ton of Glocks. I'll buy a double diamond connector for my G43, which I'm giving to my daughter in law.

The new glock 43x has a rail on the non mos version just got mine other day

Side Bar... We would love a small Magill class in Beautiful Las Vegas Nevada!

Took a genius to design the trigger mechanism in these glocks! Your videos are awesome!

Stock G43OG out of the box with a 4.5lb trigger pull, almost to soft when theres a situation that causes that adrenaline dump. 🤯

Word of caution: If this is your absolute last resort, live or die gun, do NOT mess with any parts. Unexpected things can appear at the worst time when you start messing around with triggers, extractors, mags etc. If this is just a range gun... go ahead. If you are counting on the legendary reliability - use as it comes out of the box.

Stock Glock triggers are perfect. Don't fall for the notion that you need a better trigger. For competition, sure. But for defense, stock Glock triggers are the way to go. Why mess with 100% reliability?

This is what Glock needed to do… bc I be shooting left but on my Canik I’m spot on.

great instruction

Great video as always Lenny keep up the great work!

Yeah I'm New subscriber here suport from Philippines I'm a vlogger also just like you Sir I like this channel gogogogogo

Glock has been selling guns in the US since around 1989 with substandard triggers. You’d think they would have fixed that by now. 5 pounds is OK as long as it’s crisp.

I have a 4 pound trigger on my P80 PF940V2 80 and use pyrymid ultimate flat faced trigger

Polishing goes a long way.

Another great video brother

I think I want to try that Pyramid with my new G34.

Why does it not come installed from the factory with the 3 1/2lb. trigger pull? Is this lighter trigger pull available for the model 26?

I am changing the trigger only on my new 43X. That should take it down to 4.5 lbs. I don’t want anything lighter. I heard one guy say that, “When you get into a self defense situation you will have the strength of Superman.” You don’t want a 3.5 lbs; that’s way too light.

Thank you sir.

Might have to get his

I’ve got a lot of Glocks and for the purpose of accuracy and function for carry or duty, I haven’t found Glock triggers to be worthy of all the shit they get. But that 43X trigger is pure garbage and I’m absolutely changing it out.

You are the BEST.

So, how much improvement came from the connector and how much from the lube? You did not do an apples to apples comparison.

I want to see you do a trigger job on a Glock20

A light action trigger on a striker fired ccw that most people carry iwb? I don’t think so.

Lenny I dropped my New 43x on the pavement and now it's wabbling on the side so bad I'm afraid to shoot it anyway to fix the right rear slide post I don't know how to fix this thanks

I cleaned my oem trigger bar and housing for the first time. All of a sudden, it started to have trigger reset issues.... Goood Times lol

This video is hidden, not showing on the channel. I only can across it from the link on the short

I put a Ghost trigger in a G19 and it caused it to do double taps. I wrote Ghost, but without an answer. Any ideas? I removed it and it went back to firing fine

Hey brother, I love ya. Nobody does Glock triggers better than Johnny Glocks

Are PEDs banned from Glock videos?

Can you provide like to build a similar 43x to what Lenny carry's

When are you going to talk about the combat 43x?

Using the overwatch trigger currently and not too bad at all. Much better than the stock for sure. Johnny Glocks better than them all

Best way to get the roughness of the trigger down? Its a sharp trigger. Does shooting it help at all?

I fully agree and admit that the glock firearm is one of the most reliable guns on the market in most models and trims. The trigger is perfectly good for self defense situations, however...it's crap. Better crap is still crap, sorry. It's reliable and that's what it was designed for, end of story. A "good feeling" trigger it is not

Please. What's the Pyramid trigger part # ?

I generally don't mess with defensive pistol triggers. I feel like accidents can happen when the trigger is too light. In a defensive situation you want to make sure your pulling the trigger and not accidentally pulling the trigger early if you don't need to. Training is your best trigger upgrade. Any trigger is usable with enough training.

My g48 after 1k rounds through it stock trigger is breaking at 3.5 lbs.

what do I need to do to stop the sting from the factory trigger

I do not really want a light trigger for conceal carry

Is that trigger standard on the combat 43x? How about a review on the combat 43x?

I put 2 springs in 2 of my glocks. Pretty simple.

Cheapest way to improve any Glock is to sell it and buy a CZ, HK, or most other updated firearms from reputable companies.

i like that pyramid gonna look into that

Fantastic!

Very informative and helpful, thank you.

Anyone have experience with the pyramid?

make a Glock 43x with the Sig Sauer XMacro capacity! that would absolutely beat the sig

For the algo- Great video, extremely informative and helpful.. Saving people money.

Lenny can sale a snow cone to Mount Everest...He always make me think I need something🤣

Does anyone know why when removing the slide it moves a little to the right?

The cheapest way is to polish your trigger bar. Johnny Glock has a video showing how and where to polish.

Speaking of the G43x, does anyone have serious issues with holster wear on the slide?

Left out, right in - a gunsmith told me that

Would This also work on Glock 48 Mos?

Would this work on the normal 43?

Now do G30 SF gen 3

I have a Gock 30 45 caL WITH A LASERMAX GUIDE ROD LASER, IF I PURCHASE THE GLOCK43X, WILL THIS GIDE ROD LASER FIT IN THE 43X???....THANK YOU

I love these videos need to find a more creative way to give us a link to a site that will allow you to keep posting this content I appreciate it. However RU-vid doesn’t like it but don’t let that stop you.

The pyramid trigger is one of the best available for the Glock is what you should say instead of making the Bold statement that you are trigger is the best not knowing what use someone might need, besides there's way too many similarities between that and so many other Glock triggers out there... it just immediately shuts people down if they know better

These videos should be a third as long that they are 🤦🏻‍♂️

I take it this will work onbthe regular glock 43?

I have a MOS. I'm trying to find a non MOS USA 43X slide. Anyone know where I can get one?

What is the best upgrade to make the slide easier to rack on the G43x? I find the slide very stiff and hard to rack.

I am not good when it comes to mechanical repairs or changes. Where in the North Orlando area could I find a shop to replace the for me the original trigger that came with my new 43 X MOS gun ? Your help will be highly appreciated

Wouldn’t changing the geometry of the connector to make the pull weight lighter also make the trigger pull longer?

The best way to improve a glock trigger is to buy a walther, a canik, or a new m&p.

Sounds good since I bought walthers I want a better trigger

All of you people constantly swapping out already working parts to "improve performance" better hope all of those mechanical variables that your adding don't bite you in the ass if God forbid you actually need your gun to defend yourself and it jams or malfunctions. I will stick with my stock Glock that ALREADY WORKS!

This guys teeth crack me up lol

Some one said Trim the safety
